The Power Of Communication
2:40 PM
I enjoyed this past Sunday school lesson. I basically weaved a series within a series and closed out on something I found rather interesting this past week. Here is a bit of a preview…
Genesis 11:1-7
Now the whole world had one language and common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
This has got to be one of the most overlooked scriptures in the entire Bible.
Think about it. What if, one day, you came home from work to discover your kids had invented something so revolutionary that it would impact society? Wouldn’t you just be in awe of your kids? If that isn’t the stuff you brag about, I don’t know what is. Also…don’t think I didn’t noticed that when men started to build this tower, it was conceived more in vanity than anything else. I see it and understand it. However, what is unique…is what God says on the matter.
“If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.”
Communication is one of the keys to impossibility. How do you communicate today? Are you reaching out to bridge communication gaps? The Lord basically is saying in verse 7 that if we can just unify ourselves under one language, than anything is possible.
I don’t know about you, but I can imagine a place where the impossible happens…where we become unified under one language…where impossible is a foreign word…where thousands receive the gospel call?
Where is this place?
Acts Chapter 2!
